Ayuso's boyfriend would have tried to sell vaccines at five times the price to the Ivory Coast

A false invoice worth 922,585 euros has uncovered a failed business of Alberto González Amador, Isabel Díaz Ayuso's partner, selling Covid vaccines to the Ivory Coast at a price five times higher than the cost during the pandemic, according to reveals elDiario.es.

According to the digital, González Amador acted as an intermediary in the sale of vaccines, an opportunity that opened up during a visit to the African country to explore other projects. The operation consisted of selling doses of AstraZeneca for 16.9 dollars (15.51 euros), when they did not cost more than three euros, in order to share more than two million in commissions with his partner. To do this, he turned to the company with which he had already earned two million euros in 2020 from the purchase and sale of masks.

The Government of the Ivory Coast frustrated the agreement due to the high price of the doses, but González Amador tried to convince the Treasury that the deal had caused him expenses that he never actually had. The invoice of 922,585 euros is part of the string of false documents that the Madrid president's partner presented to the Tax Agency to try to pay less taxes.

The story of what happened is contained in the extensive report from the Tax Agency that has served as the basis for the complaint by the Madrid Provincial Prosecutor's Office. And it is González Amador himself who gives all the details, through a letter sent to the Treasury inspection and which has been incorporated in its entirety into the judicial file. explains elDiario.es.

For its part, El Pais this Monday gives more details of the Tax Agency report issued two months ago and which accuses the boyfriend of the president of the Community of Madrid of defrauding the Treasury of 350,000 euros. "The conduct discovered is not the result of a mere error but of conscious, deliberate and clearly malicious conduct that deserves criminal prosecution," the Tax Agency says in its report sent to the Madrid Provincial Prosecutor's Office on January 23.

In view of the facts accredited by the tax inspection, the legal department of the Tax Agency considers it "timely and appropriate, for the purposes of investigating the fraud, to bring them to the attention of the tax ministry", according to what legal sources familiar with the report inform El Pais. .

On the other hand, this weekend, the Government and the left-wing parties requested the dismissal of Miguel Ángel Rodríguez, head of the cabinet of the president of the Community of Madrid, after elDiario.es reported that he threatened one of its journalists

According to elDiario.es, Rodríguez would have threatened the media outlet itself in writing after publishing information about the alleged tax fraud of Ayuso's partner, who accuses him of defrauding the Treasury of 350,951 euros through a scheme of false invoices and companies. screen.

Miguel Ángel Rodríguez alleged that the journalist is his friend. "We have argued a thousand times, some in writing and others without writing. What I could never expect is that a fight with a friend would become news, and that the government would come out in a rush to ask for my dismissal. Sánchez has achieved what he wanted: that coexistence in Spain becomes impossible".

Likewise, the Federation of Associations of Journalists of Spain (FAPE) and the Madrid Press Association (APM) roundly condemned the "threats" sent by Rodríguez to the journalist and consider it to be "intolerable pressure."

In another derivative of this matter, the Governing Board of the Madrid Bar Association is studying this Monday whether to adopt measures for an alleged revelation of data from the conversations of Alberto González Amador's lawyer with the prosecutor who is investigating him for two tax crimes, after the Prosecutor's Office clarified in a press release last week the sequence of events surrounding the agreement of conformity proposed by the defense of Alberto González Amador regarding the two possible tax crimes that the Treasury detected and denounced by the public ministry.

In this regard, the Association of Prosecutors (AF), the majority in the race, demanded last Friday the "immediate resignation" of the State Attorney General, Álvaro García Ortiz, considering that the actions of the prosecutor's office related to the couple's complaint of Ayuso, seriously damage his prestige.

On the other hand, the Progressive Union of Prosecutors (UPF) showed its "strong support" for the Madrid Prosecutor's Office and asked not to "instrumentalize" the institution in the "political-media fight."
